@Stuxnet
Yes
I am using 5 year old laptop with amd processor.
I will not replace it till I bought MacBook Pro 😊 -
C0D4669026y@import-fun still wtf are you using?
I'm using a 7 year old amd A6, still running with hdd. I've only had to whack 8GB ram into it, to maintain somewhat decent running. -
@C0D4 I've got what I think is a 2010 Toshiba Satellite (don't remember exactly when it was bought and I'm too lazy to check lol) and I'm fairly certain it still wouldn't take 3 mins to boot.

C0D4669026y@Stuxnet I know right.
I can be at login screen within 30-45 seconds, which is reasonable given the age and low specs.
AMD A6-3400m : 1.4GHz quad core
8GB ram : came with 4 but W10 was hardly usable
1GB GPu - it's integrated with cpu 🤷♂️
750GB sata hdd, original 😅 -
I think bad sectors are in my HDD that's why it taking to much time.
Anyway I am happy with my upgrade.
😊 -
Also buy more ram.
That 3mins is absurd, i use a i5-4200u and it boots arch in like 5s? -
15 seconds... my work machine takes (from the moment it reaches the bootloader) about 5-6 seconds :)
-
If it takes so long it's the harddrive.
Probably a 5.400 RPM drive with abysmal latency -
cst199220556yMy work drive is a 7200RPM Seagate drive and it too takes 3 min to boot, because of bloatware I can't uninstall :(
Anybody who is crying for slow machine issue. You can do this think.
1. Replace your HDD with ssd (256gb in 3500 INR)
2. buy DVD shape hdd holder (cost 700 INR)
3. replace DVD with this case
Benefits :
Speed up
No need to worry about data backup
Enjoy
My boot time of window 10
3 mins to 15sec
